If enough people return the item which again, with microsd cards, is likely not nearly often enough on Amazon.

If “the system worked” i.e. companies get appropriately punished for selling bad products, then this issue wouldn’t still be so widespread. It’s basically a feature of Amazon now. People just assume they’re going to randomly get junk. It’s baked into our expectations at this point.






Amazon returns are very easy --- maybe even too easy.

I suspect the real issue with memory cards is that most people probably don't check them. The solution is --- don't be like most people.


It is significantly more work to return an item than to buy one, it’s very asymmetric.
